“Easily the least lucky (luck got down to 31%) and most boring game I've had thus far. Bumper knows how to win, I can't fault him for that. I don't think he knows how to have a game though.

I agree that stalling is a viable option when your opponent has the ability to score quickly (players with 13 MA) or defend themselves, but I think we were both aware early in the game that I couldn't do either.

If I played often enough to have a dozen teams I wouldn't mind so much, but it's going to be hard enough building up 1 team without playing against 'coaches' that spend 14 of their 16 turns playing catchy with the ball while they anus rape everyone they can grab.

The only times bumper scored before the last turns was when I told him that I wasn't going to stand my players up (petty maybe, but I considered it quite reasonable), after which I believe the only reason he _did_ score was that so he could get in a few extra blocks because I'd be forced to set up for the kickoff.

This game did nothing to sway my opinion in the 'bashy vs speedy' debate.

My only saving graces are that I only have one player missing my next game now (instead of 2, though I now have a -MA + niggling linerat), and bumper doesn't foul.”
